Bell will be launching a new satellite, Nimiq 6 on May 17. This will replace the old satellites at 91 degrees. What this means for the majority of us is that we will get better reception on satellite 91, so less rain fade.
If you live in our euphemistically called southern provinces or are a snow birder who uses Bell you may be out of luck for receiving Bell as the footprint is going to be more focused on Canada. Here's the new coverage map.
If you're interested the live launch will be shown from the Russian Space Centre, Baikonur Cosmodrome, KZ May 17th 3:12pm EDT.
